The next day's martial arts performance

It was afternoon, and the autumn afternoon sun was quite warm and did not give people a feeling of discomfort. A gust of autumn wind blew, and the dead leaves that were still left on the trees could not withstand the wind's pull and fell down.

"It's autumn again..." Chen couldn't help but murmured. Time seemed to pass very quickly, and it's almost seven years since he came to this world. Perhaps, after fulfilling his master's wish, he will embark on a new journey.

During the martial arts performance, Fungoro, Izu and Kiriya were all waiting quietly. Before Uezumi could play, Treasure was waiting in the audience.

"Dadadada···" A series of footsteps came, and the people who were still waiting couldn't help but turn their eyes to the source of the sound.

Shangquan, wearing gray clothes, slowly walked towards the martial arts field. On the other hand, Chen was wearing white clothes. Before Shangquan even came on stage, the eyes of the two were intertwined. Both of them could see the scorching fighting spirit in each other's eyes, and the momentum of the two people continued to rise. Before the formal showdown, the two began to compete for momentum. Shangquan's momentum was calm and a little agile, while Chen was vast and peaceful. From the momentum of the two, they seemed to be able to feel their different views on kendo.

Treasure looked at the field with a serious face. He knew that these two were both masters of kendo, but he didn't expect that the momentum between them could shock the people next to him. Perhaps this was the real strength of the two, Treasure thought in his heart.

Uchizumi finally walked into the martial arts arena, and the duel between the two is finally about to begin.

Chen first said, "My teacher, Juro, has fought with you many times but failed, and then passed away due to illness. I, Xingchuan Tak, will also inherit the master's wishes and will defeat you!" Chen's seemingly calm eyes contained an amazing fighting spirit. This battle was not only a personal battle, but also a battle to show the concept of swordsmanship that showed Tian Jingliu and Xinyinliu.

After hearing this, Uchizumi said, "Najuro is also my friend, and it is a great regret that he can't fight with him again. I also want to see how his disciples have reached!" Uchizumi was also very eager to fight.

Both sides hold wooden knives, because they are not a real life-and-death duel, so there is no need to use real knives.

Treasure looked at the two people on the field and said softly: "It's time to start!"

After hearing this, the two stood quietly in their original position and did not take action. The momentum and the first move in the sword showdown are very important, so they will not let go of their momentum in order to win the initiative of attack.

The momentum of the scene became more and more dull, and the field became quieter. Only the sound of autumn wind blowing was heard on the whole field, and the people below could not help but hold their breath and stare at the field with all their attention.

"Why is Chen Jun still confronting Teacher Shangquan..." Ju couldn't help but silently recite in his heart. She had known this battle for a long time. Since they left their originally seclusion, Chen's goal was to establish it. The ultimate realization of Lord Nagajuro's wish was the reason why Chen has been persisting in the past few years. Of course, Jue hoped that Chen would win, but after fulfilling the teacher's last wish, what would Chen go? Thinking of this, Jue couldn't help but feel a little lonely.

"What will happen..." Wen Goro and Izu looked at the two on the field intently. As disciples of Uchizumi, they certainly hope Uchizumi can win. But since the teacher once said that Chen could put pressure on him, then Chen's swordsmanship must be extraordinary, and it is really unknown whether he can win.

Treasure looked at the two of them in a complicated mood. The martial arts realm of these two was much higher than that of him. He also gained a lot in his discussion with them yesterday, but he could not tell the difference between them. Perhaps the outcome could only depend on the will of heaven. Treasure sighed that he felt very stressed when he was with these two masters.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time on the court, and finally, a gust of wind blew, and both of them began to shake.

It started! Several people off the court thought of each other.

The two set off almost at the same time, so they rushed towards each other together.

Bump, several dull sounds of impact came. Shangquan first swung his knife toward Chen. Shangquan knew that his physical strength was definitely not as good as the boy in front of him. The first was because of his age and body, and the second was because the boy's physical strength was already amazing. It was almost impossible to consume Chen's physical strength as much as the match with the treasure. So Shangquan started attacking and solved him before the opponent could react.

It is true that Shangquan's idea is correct, but Chen is not able to solve it so easily. Chen gently set up Shangquan's wooden knife with the wooden knife in his hand, and Shangquan's body also stopped for a moment. Chen used the force to set up Shangquan's horizontal slash, but he also felt that the wooden knife in his hand trembled a little while taking the move of Shangquan.

Sure enough, this move was used again, and Chen thought in his mind that Shangquan used this move when he was duel with Master Treasure. Although Chen saw through the mystery of this move, he could not resolve it.

After discovering that his attack did not work, Shangquan also began to attack again. Each of Shangquan's moves had an amazing momentum. If ordinary swordsmen had already been defeated under the pressure of momentum, Chen was calm and rushing to resist every time.

Blind Sword!

After more and more attacks, Shangquan's movements became more and more tricky and weird, and each time it seemed like he was about to cut to Chen's key point. Chen had to use the mystery of the blind sword. Under the action of the blind sword, Shangquan's movements became very clear, and Chen could even vaguely analyze Shangquan's next movements.

Uchizumi also noticed that Tatsuki used the mystery of Tianjingliu. He had also fought with Nagajuro many times, but Nagajuro had never used it because he had not cultivated this sect to a certain level. After several rounds of attack, Uchizumi felt the exhaustion of his physical strength, and he couldn't help but start to restrain his strength and hit it in the most clever way.

Chen also roughly understood Shangquan's sword skills through several tests. At this time, Shangquan slowed down his offensive. Chen took the opportunity to counterattack, but Chen launched an offensive against Shangquan every time, and was easily resolved. At some point, Shangquan even used the gaps in attacking his body to cause some trouble to Chen.

Shangquan also constantly used some sword techniques of Xinyinliu, and Chen was forced to turn attack into defense. Chen realized that even though he had advantages in strength and physical strength, Shangquan could make up for his own shortcomings with his superb skills.

During the repeated blows and retreats, due to the carrying of too much power, the wooden swords in both hands were already on the brink of breaking. If both of their wooden swords were broken, it would be a draw. Chen had a plan in his mind and decided to break this situation.

The two of them were still colliding constantly, but at this time Chen fell into a defensive stance and Shangquan turned into an offensive. After many collisions, the two of them were finally unable to hold on. Shangquan thought that they could smash the wooden knife in Chen's hand to a few more times. At this time, the wooden knife in Chen's hand suddenly collapsed and turned into pieces of wood chips and swept towards Shangquan. Shangquan was stunned for a moment. According to the principle, it would take some time for the wood-making knife to be smashed. Shangquan's body also stopped for a moment, but at this time, Chen grabbed Shangquan's right hand holding the knife and turned his body to throw Shangquan to the ground.

Although Shangquan was stunned for a while, he also reacted when Chen grabbed his right hand. His body was about to escape like a clever ape, but when Chen hit the ground, he had to adjust his body.

In the end, Chen controlled Shangquan's body, and the wooden knife on Shangquan's hand was also taken away.

Treasure couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this scene. After being stunned for a while, he clapped his hands and said, "It's Xingchuan Jun who wins!" (The reactions of the surrounding audiences must also be added here)

Tatsuya let go of Kamiizumi's hands and stood up gently, with no sign of joy on his face (but no sign of it) on his face. Others had different expressions. Kirimi smiled on his face, perhaps because Tatsuya fulfilled Nagajuro's last wish. Fumigoro looked at Tatsuya with surprise, and there was a bit of admiration in his eyes. This young man who was better than him was worthy of his respect. Izu recalled the actions of the two of them just now and fell into deep thought.

After Tan Suzumi let go, he stood up. He looked at Chen and thought for a while and said, "You are more talented than your master Nagajuro..." Kasumi's tone was filled with sighs and envy. It was not unreasonable for this young man to beat him. Although he was still a little worse in swordsmanship, he was first-class in both reaction and adaptability.

Shangquan asked again: "Your wooden knife was broken just now, but I didn't react at that time."

Chen: "Yes, in order to create the opportunity, I secretly broke the knife. Lord Shangquan, there were many offensives during the competition, so please forgive me." Chen's tone was calm and he could not hear any change.

When the two stepped down, everyone also stepped forward to ask a few questions. Especially the blind sword technique that Taki had just used just now made Treasure care very much, while Fungoro and Izu asked Uchizumi about the characteristics of Tianjingliu sword technique. They didn't know much about it in the past. Until today, they found that this declining genre actually had wonderful sword technique. Konori asked a few questions with concern, and Taki responded one by one.

…………

After dinner, the group returned to the room to practice. Today's swordsmanship duel gave them a lot of shock. Fungoro and Izu learned a lot of shortcomings of their own swordsmanship from some of the movements of Uchizumi on the field. Uchizumi went back to understand the inspiration brought to him by the mystery of Tianjingliu to make up for the shortcomings of his own swordsmanship. The treasure was to recall something from the mystery of Blind Sword, and went to the sutra pavilion in the temple to search for some scriptures. Tatsu sat quietly in the room, as if he was thinking about something.

The sound of the wooden door being opened reached Chen's ears. A faint fragrance unique to a girl came over, and Chen knew who it was without looking back.

"Ju, you are here." Chen said slowly without any haste.

"Yeah." Ju replied softly. She sat lightly beside Tatsuya. At this time, she was wearing a woman's clothes. Since she set out with Uchizumi and her group, Jue has changed back to women's clothing. At this time, she also looked very cute and clever. No wonder both Fuguro and Izu were fascinated by it. He had known about Fuguro and Ju, but Izu also mixed in but he had not guessed it.

"Chen, are you going to leave soon?" Ju was silent for a while and finally asked. He could hear that she was trying hard to force herself and not make a crying sound. But Chen suddenly felt a warm liquid flowing through the back of his hand. When he turned around, he saw Ju was already crying.

It seems that I haven't seen Ju cry for a long time. Ju cried many times when I was a child. Chen recalled that when he met Ju just now, he was just a little girl. Unexpectedly, time passed quickly, and such days would end in the end.

Ju gently leaned his head on Chen's shoulder, and Chen could feel Ju's body trembling slightly. Ju should be very scared now, afraid that he would suddenly disappear. But, he would eventually leave Ju, because the road ahead was uncertain and too dangerous, Ju followed her and would harm her.

"No, after all, I have to stay here for a while. Don't be too sad, Ju," Chen comforted.

"Really? Can't Chen leave?" Jue's voice was a little more surprised, and she raised her head and stared at Chen.

"I will leave in the end," Chen looked at Ju's face that was about to cry and continued, "Ji, joy, sorrow, separation and reunion are common things in the world, and I can't stay by your side all the time. Jui, you don't have to be too sad for me. Maybe I will leave here, but I will live well. Jui must live happily and I can leave with confidence..."

Thinking that maybe I should accompany Ju again, or maybe I will not have the chance to come back in the future, Chen thought seriously.

Looking at Ju, who had tears on his face, Chen gently put his hand on Ju's head and gently stroked his soft hair. The hand felt unexpectedly good, Chen thought in his heart. A layer of blush appeared on Ju's face again, and he lowered his head because he didn't dare to look at Chen's eyes.

Chen seemed to be talking to himself: "Maybe I was carrying the teacher's last wish, so I have been suppressing myself, but I think I have more things to do now, not just for kendo."
